Port Orford Dairyman Is Charged With
Fftst Degree Murder Over Wed. Shooting
Continued from Page One
the following account appeared:
“A young mill foreman was shot
through the heart at the wheel of
his car on the upper Sixes river
at 1:30 p. m. Wednesday. Kay No-
dine, Sixes rancher, is in the Cur
ry county jail at Gold Beach, to
where he had been taken after
having admitted to the shooting,
according to the state police.
Dead is Marius Sorenson 27-
year-old navy veteran of World
War 2, and brother of Harold Sor
enson of Sixes. He was unmarried.
"Nodine reportedly d r o v e to
Port Orford, six miles south of
Sixes, where he entered Justice of
the Peace Ad Nieman’s office and
gave himself up shortly before
State Police Officer Ray Gardner
arrived from Gold Beach and as
other officers were converging on
the area.
"Eyewitness to the shooting was
Clifford Alvin Shields, 29, who
owns a mill about nine miles up
Sixes river from Hwy 101, where
Sorenson was employed as fore
man.
“Shields told state police he and
Sorenson had been to Coos Bay
to get a part for repairing the
mill and were headed east on the
Sixes road toward the mill when
they met a car driven by Kay
Nodine, Sixes rancher, headed to-
toward the highway.
“Shields said Nodine hailed the
two ment and Sorenson, driving

his own car, pulled up and waited
for Nodine. According to Shields,
Nodine came out of his car with
a rifle and after swearing at the
two men, flred one shot through
the car door. The bullet struck
Sorenson in the heart and he died
instantly, Shields related.
“Shields said he thought the
gunman was going to shoot him
too, but that after Shields talked
to Nodine, the man lowered his
gun and Shields started the car
toward Bandon to take Sorenson
to a hospital.
“Shields stopped briefly at the
Sixes store, at the junction of the
upper Sixes river road and the
highway, and asked that someone
call ah< ad for police and medical
aid to meet him in Bandon.
“He stopped at the Bandon city
hall where he was met by state
police. The body of Sorenson was
taken to Shroeder Bros. Mortu
ary, Bandon.”
Mr. Niemann, Port Orford, said
Nodine gave himself up, and was
turned over to police.
While not confirmed, the story
was related that Nodine’s daugh
ter, 14 years old, had run away
from home, and was said to have
gone to the Shields home to live.
It was over this that Nodine had
become enraged.
